Your Proxmox. Your dashboard.
Tainer is a self-hostable command center for Proxmox VE. Pull one Docker image, point it at your cluster, and run a beautiful dashboard for LXC, VMs, templates, backups, and audit - without shipping your data anywhere.
The honest version
How Tainer stacks up.
Different tools, different priorities. Tainer manages multiple Proxmox sites from one install and focuses on container lifecycle, templates, and IPAM. PegaProx leans into cross-cluster orchestration. Here is the side-by-side, gaps and all.

Our Story
The history behind Tainer
It started with a backup problem
On June 4th, the idea for Tainer was born out of pure necessity. At the company we worked for, we urgently needed a reliable platform to manage and back up our LXC containers.
Crucially, we needed a way to use Veeam to back them up. Because Veeam didn't offer native support for Proxmox LXC containers at the time, we decided to build the bridge ourselves.
That bridge became Tainer - designed to give operations teams the container workflow and data protection they actually need for Proxmox.

Thanks for taking the time. A small shout-out to the reviewers.
Independent writeups that helped more people find Tainer. If you cover us, we'd love to send you a copy - [email protected].
Tainer gives you a clean, modern dashboard on top of Proxmox that finally makes managing LXCs and VMs feel like managing containers in Portainer.
Overall worth trying if you've been on the fence. Rough edges but solid foundation. Clean, smooth interface, fast and responsive, and HA cluster support is great.
